  • Last Night in Costa Rica
    Jun 23 2025
    Hey Slaycation Nation, here comes a doozy of a case that will have you rethinking everything you know about resorts. Let’s just say this, be sure to read ALL the reviews before booking your stay! Unfortunately, Florida woman, Carla Stefaniak either didn’t read or didn’t heed the numerous 1-star reviews when she booked one final night at a Costa Rican villa through Airbnb back in 2018. Without giving any details away — what was supposed to be a birthday celebration trip quickly turned into a nightmare scenario that feels straight out of a horror movie. Buckle up, because this one takes some twists and turns that will have you trembling in fear and rage. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and stay safe out there!

  • A Hiking Not to Our Liking
    Jun 16 2025
    OK Slaycaters, picture this — a seasoned solo traveler, a beautiful hiking trail in Central Japan, and a chance to check another spiritual journey off a personal bucket list. What could go wrong? Well, if you’re a fan of our show you know we turn ‘going wrong’ into an art form. Pattie Wu-Murad, an experienced traveler and avid hiker from Connecticut headed to Japan to hike the well-known Kumano Kodo Trail. To say things didn’t go according to plan would be a huge understatement. A simple hike became a multi-national venture as search and rescue teams from around the world would join the U.S. Embassy and the FBI in a massive effort to ‘Help Find Pattie.’ We won’t give away the ending — except to say there is an ending. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and please stay safe out there.
